Budget 2009 Betting - The Economic Model
By Paddy Power October 15 2008
Drinking, smoking, gambling, leaving the country and earning money. With Brian Lenihan taking aim at pretty much everything we enjoy, we suppose we can be thankful that he stopped short of introducing a tax on sitting on the sofa in our pants watching Football Focus. Possibly because they think an economist is someone who spends all day between women's legs, the Irish Sun recruited their resident boobs and brains to comment on Budget 2009. Page 3 girl, Claire Tully surmises that "this country needs a Robin Hood" which proves once and for all that this economic mumbo-jumbo clearly goes way over our heads because we've no idea what Kevin Costner could do to help. Will the measures save the country from going bust? Budget Betting More..

US Racing - Live on ATR - Bear In Mind!
"Home Is Where the Bed Is." Goldilocks lived by this motto and unfortunately died by it – according to some historical accounts. Tonight's 'Only in America' bit could be regarded as the 21st century adaptation of the literary classic, The Three Bears. Bob and Joanne Breiner returned to their Maryland home and found a drunken Goldilocks asleep in their bed. The man accidentally went to the Breiners' house after getting off at a bus stop eight miles from his own home and entered through an unlocked front door. "The man had been drinking," said a police spokeswoman, forgetting to add "he was apologetic but said the bed was too hard." No charges were filed against him. Will there be a fairytale ending for you after tonight's US Racing on ATR?
US Politics - Debate Betting - Spank You Very Much
As much as John McCain insists he will "whip" Barack Obama's "you know what" at the next, and final presidential debate, we're not expecting the 72 year old Republican nominee to turn up wearing a white hood, waving the Confederate Flag and reciting extracts from Mein Kampf. However, he did pick Sarah Palin as his VP so anything can happen. The Republican pair also promised that their personal attacks on Obama would stop and references to the Democrat as "a terrorists' pal" and "That One" have done more damage to McCain’s campaign. Polls put the Arizona senator lagging behind Obama. The debate could prove inconsequential, but it looks like Barack will be a real hit! US Election Handicap Betting
Snooker Odds - Right On Cue!
"At 1-0 and 2-0 everyone must be thinking I wanted to go home," Ronnie O'Sullivan accurately described what most people were thinking when he was losing to Liang Wenbo at the Royal London Watches GP. Luckily, the Englishman didn't offer "had enough of it, mate" like against Stephen Hendry at the UK Championship and fought back to beat the Chinese player 5 – 2 in the first round. Not surprisingly the world number one wasn't happy with his performance. "It was embarrassing; my shots were amazingly off target. I hate losing, I'm stubborn. It still bothers me when I play like that," he said, indicating he can only get better at the event in Scotland. Back Ronnie to beat Marco Fu 5 – 0 and you could pocket some real cash!

China Grand Prix Odds - The Tension is Pal-pable
Who needs friends when you've got enemies like Robert Kubica? Described once as Lewis Hamilton's best mate, the Polish driver has joined a long list of people who have criticised the 23 year old for his "dangerous" driving this season. Speaking about Hamilton's overtaking manoeuvres recently, he consulted the 'Fernando Alonso Guide to Annoying the Englishman' and said, "What he does is too much and dangerous. It was a topic in the drivers' meetings and most of them had a similar view. But at the end we can only talk. If someone is convinced they're allowed to do it, then we don't have any influence." If Kubica can win the China GP, he’s in with a real chance to Rob the Drivers' Championship from Hamilton and Massa. Sun 5.30am ITV/Set.
Daily Horse Racing - Wednesday's Racing
With some not so famous celebrities blowing out candles on their birthday cakes today, we'll venture off in another direction completely in our daily absolutely-nothing-to-do-with-horse racing section. If Halloween gives some men a comfortable freedom to dress up as women and look particularly scary, then the fifteenth of October allows people to be downright grumpy. Somewhere in the world, we think Canada, it's National Grouch Day, or as we prefer to call it Victor Meldrew Day. You can't moan about today's racing as there's competitive action from Uttoxeter, Lingfield, Punchestown and Whetherby in the afternoon and at Kempton in the evening. Don't forget, we also pay out on disqualified winners and official result on all UK & Ireland races.
